Xie Lige and Ouyang Shaogong finished talking.
A few days later.
Ouyang Shaogong came back from delivering medicine at the back of the mountain and saw that Xie Lige had already packed up the cocoon hut.
The medicinal cauldron had already been put away.
The Wind Ghastly grew bigger and lay on the ground.
Arachnida saw Ouyang Shaogong come down from the top of the Wind Ghastly's head.
It immediately danced and jumped around with its eight claws baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.
Arachnida opened its claws excitedly. "Hiss!"
It stretched out its two claws and rolled out a rectangular white object for its little friend to see.
Ouyang Shaogong took a closer look.
He found that the shape looked familiar. It looked a little like...
"Solitary Burning Sword!" Ouyang Shaogong said expressionlessly.
Arachnida hissed proudly.
Ouyang Shaogong watched as the peerless sword was casually thrown to the ground like it was a gift from the heavens.
Arachnida's claws dragged it with spider silk, desperately dragging it in front of him to show off.
Ouyang Shaogong, who was being shown off, was speechless.
Xie Lige saw the surging waves in Ouyang Shaogong's expressionless face.
She said in a very innocent tone, "This sword's murderous aura is too strong. The Wind Ghastly is a little scared.
Fortunately, Arachnida is braver and can drag it with spider silk. "
Ouyang Shaogong felt that he could take it himself. After all, his soul was in the sword.
This sword was equivalent to half of his body.
When he thought of his upper body being casually wrapped in spider silk and thrown to the ground,
Arachnida, that little bastard, was jumping on the sword smugly. He, who had always been a clean freak, couldn't stand it.
He couldn't help but say, "... I can do it myself..."
"Stop!"
Xie Lige stopped him from continuing.
Then, she flew onto the top of the Wind Ghastly's head and sat down cross-legged. She pointed to the empty space beside her and said, "Are you coming up? If not, you can use your own lightness skill to fly over."
Ouyang Shaogong raised his head abruptly.
Xie Lige pursed his lips.
He smiled and said, "Of course, I won't wait for you."
The Five Poisons' Qing Gong was well known to all.
Cough.
It didn't fly high and was wobbly. It looked as if it was tired driving.
Most importantly, his legs were short.
Ouyang Shaogong was very honored to have inherited this skill, and he was very self-aware. When he heard that Xie Lige wanted him to fly above the Wind Centipede's head using Qing Gong, his little face immediately darkened.
With a dark expression, Kid put away the bowl in his bag and jumped onto Feng Gou's head, sitting cross-legged beside Xie Lige.
When Arachnida saw that he had gone up, it didn't want to play with the sword anymore. With a hiss, its eight claws danced quickly and nimbly wrapped several layers of spider silk around the Solitary Incineration Sword. Ouyang Shaogong's eyelids twitched when he saw this.
Arachnida was only satisfied when it was wrapped into a thick piece.
Then, it raised its head and called out to the sky.
A group of Pygmy Butterflies appeared in the air. There were many of them, flapping their light green wings and dancing in the air. When they saw Arachnida raise its head from the ground, they moved lightly and circled around the cocoon, bringing them to Feng Gou's head. Then, they gently landed beside Xie Lige.
Arachnida also jumped up.
It knew that Xie Lige didn't want Ouyang Shaogong to touch the Solitary Incineration Sword, so it directly wrapped a few more layers. The entire Solitary Incineration Sword was beyond recognition, and its original appearance couldn't be seen clearly.
Ouyang Shaogong's eyelids kept twitching, but due to Xie Lige's imposing aura, he could only pretend not to see. He watched as Arachnida used its spider silk to drag the Solitary Incineration Sword away.
Xie Lige's gaze swept across the gloomy Ouyang Shaogong and said, "Stay away from the Solitary Incineration Sword. It originally came from the same source, and the sword also has a killing intent. In the past, you would be affected even if you were far away. Now that you're so close, you really aren't afraid of death, are you?"
Ouyang Shaogong couldn't refute. In reality, he was right. He did want to ignore the killing intent in the Solitary Incineration Sword and forcefully merge with it.
As for the consequences of merging, he didn't think about it.
After thousands of years of soul separation, the sword spirit of the Solitary Incineration Sword had become his obsession.
Xie Lige saw Ouyang Shaogong's stunned expression and thought that his tone was too harsh. He coughed and softened his tone, "We'll go find Nuwa to remove the killing intent for the Solitary Incineration Sword. You have so many obsessions, but you've only completed one thing. Are you satisfied?"
Not satisfied?
Ouyang Shaogong looked straight at Xie Lige to convey his thoughts.
Not satisfied is right.
Xie Lige was afraid of dealing with people who had the will to die. Because once they were ready to die, it meant that there was no longer any obsessions in this world. No matter how many words you said, it would be useless.
Xie Lige smiled. He patted Ouyang Shaogong's head comfortingly as if he was patting an obedient little animal. He said indifferently, "Don't worry, you'll get what you want."
"After the killing intent of the Solitary Incineration Sword is removed, you can merge with the sword spirit. After that, you can go to Penglai Island to find your wife. How about getting married? Father has already prepared the betrothal gifts. But does Penglai Island accept spirit stones as betrothal gifts?
Do they accept gold and silver?
Or do they have their own currency? I don't know if paintings and paintings are needed … "
Xie Lige thought back to his own inventory and muttered to himself.
Xie Lige's status in his previous life was not low, especially when he was the teacher of the emperor in his previous life. When the previous emperor was still alive, he would often send gifts to him. He did not stop even when he was a young emperor. Over time, Xie Lige's private stash of treasures increased. This was a very rare occasion. Xie Lige was a little excited that his son was going to get married.
Ouyang Shaogong's hair was a little messy from the patting. He listened expressionlessly to Xie Lige's muttering. From removing the killing intent of the Solitary Incineration Sword to how to merge the two souls into one, when the last sentence was about getting married, his mind was already completely captivated.
After a long time, he finally reacted.
Ouyang Shaogong forced himself to be calm and said, "Penglai Island does not need gold and silver. When I married her, I did not give her any betrothal gifts."
At that time, his entire body was saved by the other party. He had no money, so how could he have any betrothal gifts?
Hearing this, Xie Lige paused. His gaze swept over Ouyang Shaogong's body in surprise. He found that the latter was staring at him expressionlessly, but there was a patch of redness behind his ears.
Was he shy?
Xie Lige raised his eyebrows.
His tone was casual as he teased, "Then it's your fault."
"How could you leave out the Three Matchmakers and Six Betrothal Gifts? You didn't do it in the first place. This time, you're not going to make it up to her this time. She's such a good girl, and she's getting married again because of your words?"
These words made the back of Ouyang Shaogong's ears even redder.
Now, he had not yet gone through the later stages of despair. In his heart, there was still a bit of a scholar's romance. When he heard Xie Lige's tone talking about the marriage in an orderly manner, he compared his heart with the dream-like wedding in his memory. Only then did he realize that he had missed out on a lot of things. He could not help but feel a little more apologetic towards his wife in his heart.
Xie Lige saw the redness behind Ouyang Shaogong's ears. The corner of his mouth twitched. He knew that the other party understood what he meant.
His gaze swept over his son. He found that the other party's originally dim eyes had become firm and ambitious. It was obvious that he already had a goal in his heart.
Xie Lige saw this scene and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had pulled back.
While the two of them were talking, Feng Gou had already risen into the air. Ouyang Shaogong looked down and found that the dense forest was already very small. The cave in the back mountain had already become a black spot. At this time, he suddenly remembered Xuan Xiao's request before he left.
"The evil spirit in Xuan Xiao's body has been removed."
Ouyang Shaogong sat cross-legged on top of Feng Gou's head. He looked at Xie Lige and said in a serious tone, "He asked me to pass on a message. He wants to ask if you know a person called Zhao Kuangheng."
Boom!
As soon as Ouyang Shaogong's voice fell, his entire body was pressed down on top of Feng Gou's head by a huge force. He could not help but close his eyes. After a while, he opened them and looked in the direction of Xie Lige.
For the first time, the man put away his frivolous and casual smile. His eyes were very calm as he looked at him and said word by word, "What did you say?"
Ouyang Shaogong's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the name had a special meaning to this person. However, he could no longer speak. The force was too strong for him to handle. Just trying to stay on top of Feng Gou's head took up all of his mental and physical strength.
It was also at this time that Ouyang Shaogong realized the true strength of his cheap father for the first time.
Just the force that accidentally leaked out made it difficult for him to breathe. It was hard to imagine how terrifying the strength hidden under that frivolous smile was.
Xie Lige looked at Ouyang Shaogong and said nothing. He only used his internal energy to resist his force. Feng Gou under him made a rustling sound in protest. Xie Lige finally calmed down and withdrew his force. He then carried Ouyang Shaogong, who was about to collapse, back to his side.
He sat cross-legged on top of Feng Gou's head and said in a casual tone, "Tell me clearly what he said to you and what he said."
Ouyang Shaogong didn't hide anything and told him everything.
He told him everything, including the fact that the mark between Xuan Xiao's brows had disappeared. His entire aura had turned from chaotic to clear, and his eyes had also become clear. They were no longer cold. Even when he said the name, his tone was probing.
Xie Lige asked, "Are you sure he's awake?"
Ouyang Shaogong said, "Auras don't lie."
The baleful aura in Xuan Xiao's body had almost completely disappeared.
"Heh."
Xie Lige laughed coldly and swept his gaze across the sky. He remembered that he might have been tricked this time.
Putting aside his thoughts of going back to find Feng Gou, Xie Lige decided to bring Ouyang Shaogong to Youdu to find Nuwa first.
Feng Gou's speed was very fast, and Xie Lige sat on top to direct the direction. Soon, they reached the top. The sky was pitch black and desolate, and the surroundings were empty. The shrine in the center was majestic, and it was surrounded by the stone houses of the tribe. The wind whistled, and someone popped his head out of the stone house to see Feng Gou spiraling in the sky.
He immediately recognized the purple figure sitting on top of Feng Gou's head.
"The sacred envoy is back."
"Quickly go and tell the chief."
"He even brought back a sacred beast."
The person who popped his head out of the stone house cheered excitedly while informing the others. Everyone who received the news immediately cheered and even danced from time to time.
Ouyang Shaogong, who heard the cheers below, looked at the indifferent man beside him with an unfathomable gaze. For the first time, he was shaken by the latter's identity. So this person wasn't an ordinary dark healer?
He, who had cultivated the technique, saw that the clothes of the people below were exactly the same as the clothes of those naive people in Burning Silence Forest. Their accent was also basically the same, and when he connected it to the origin of Youdu, it was naturally self-evident.
